An article ("IVF doctor cleared of inflating birth rates", 10 Nov) contained several errors: the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority did not retract anything its representative, Ms Angela McNab, had said on the BBC programme about IVF doctor Mr Mohamed Taranissi when it settled his complaint (not legal proceedings as was said), but it did clarify some statements she had made. In addition, Ms McNab had not accused Mr Taranissi of "massaging birth rates".
